Selecting fields 1

[smibarb]

This is such a minor problem but so frustrating. I am working on a new workstation and on this workstation I cannot select a field or text object by simply clicking on it and highlighting it. The fields/text objects do not highlight and instead the cursor, as soon as you move it over the field, turns into the "moving" cursor (the 4-way arrow).

This must be a setting but I cannot figure it out. Any assistance greatly appreciated.

Sounds like it might be a mouse setting to me.

What happens if you right click?

Same thing, I get the right click menu, but the field or text box does not highlight.

The 4 way cursor means that a field has been selected already, so it would appear that at the point of rollover the system believes that you have already selected it.

I don't know of a setting in Crystal that could alter this, however your mouse settings might, but it seems unlikely, and even then the right click should work.

Sorry I can't be of more use, I guess I'd be curious as to how this system works in other programs when selecting, and would be suspicious of the mouse driver.
